When you're still picking this late in the draft, it will take a minor miracle to get anyone good. Dallas GM Bob may have gotten just that today, picking Lassiter with the second pick in today's first round. In fact, many analysts expected Lassiter's name to have been called at least a round earlier, and Bob was well aware of that fact. "We're lucky, no doubt about it. We've had our eyes on Lassiter for a couple rounds now, but had some bigger needs at other positions. When today came, though, there was no doubt in our minds."
